Bannerstones of the
North American Indian |
|
Byron W.
Knoblock (1939) |
|
 |
The penultimate reference
book on bannerstones written by Byron W.
Knoblock. The originals of this book are
highly prized and will set you back between
$600.00 and $1,000.00 according to condition and
binding edition. Drawing on
important archaeological excavations, such as
Mill's work at
Indian Knoll, this has become the de facto
resource on the subject. Used by
professional archaeologists as well as amateurs,
it provides a systematic categorization and
detailed description of the various types
of these fascinating artifacts. |
|
|
Having started this project
quite a while ago, we pulled it off of the back
burner recently due to the large number of
requests. This is truly an important
contribution to United States archaeology and is
our largest single volume reprint,
check
out the details here. |

Rare and
expensive, many of the surviving books are
in pretty bad shape. A combination of
age and the stresses put on the binding due
to its large size makes opening an original
a crap shoot for additional damage. As
expected, foxing (brown areas on the paper)
and degradation of the binding and pages can
be expected and may be extreme in many
examples. Some pages,
such as the plates, are typically foxed and
stained much more heavily than text pages. |
|
 |
<<=== The page on the
left has an average amount of foxing and ink from one of the plates
has also transferred to this page which adds to
the degraded appearance.
On the right, the same page
after restoration. ===>>> |

Atlatls and Bannerstones |
| |
Excavations at Indian Knoll |
 |
"From a careful study of
this body of artifacts, their position in
the graves, and their association with each
other, the conviction has grown that all of
these antler hooks are the distal ends of
atlatls. All of the antler sections are
handles, attached to the proximal end of the
atlatl, and the "banner" stones,
subrectangular bars, and composit shell
artifacts are all atatl weights.”
|
|
As a teenager
in the mid-1960's my uncle took me to meet
one of the foremost collectors of artifacts
in Ohio who was a friend of his. While
looking at his collection of bannerstones I
mentioned that I had read somewhere of them
being used as altatl weights. His
response was that atlatls had been found in
caves in the Southwest but not in the East,
so there was no evidence of this.
Little did I realize at that time that a
definitive study of their use as weights had
been published 20 years previously by
William S, Webb of the University of
Kentucky. The in-situ finds of atlatl handles, weights and hooks left
little doubt of their aboriginal use.
We are
very fortunate that the Moore excavations
did not destroy this site and that Webb was
able to recover some of the most compelling
evidence of the use and construction of the
atlatl in the Eastern United States.

| The Archeological Atlas of
Ohio - Mills 1914 |
Any way you spell it The Archeological (Archeological) Atlas of Ohio
was, and is, the most famous and comprehensive archaeological
atlas ever printed - with over 5,000 archaeological features of
the Buckeye State identified. The original publication run was
limited to only 500 copies which accounts for the extreme rarity and
high cost of the few surviving originals.
This large format (approximately 13" x 17") soft cover book is printed on acid-free, premium
heavyweight paper and features the full-size, color maps of each
of the 88 Ohio counties as found in the original.

Stone
Artifact Site is now up
We started another site
specializing in the archaeology of North America
last year as we have quite a bit of material that's really
too short for a book reprint. We are also
using this site to showcase some interesting
extracts from our regular line of reprint titles.
We plan on adding a large amount of content to this
site in the coming year so, if you get a chance,
please check it out.
